Went on live last night

WoW Classic WoW Classic General Discussion

Made an undead mage. First thing I did, heirlooms, brought out my chopper…a quest or 2 later I notice the giant yellow arrows pointing to the bodies so I’d click on them. I laughed. Such simple intrusive things added that ruined the core of the game. I can NOT wait for classic…Live wont cut it for me any longer, not after playing to 5 in the stress test…level 5! I played to level 5 and enjoyed it more than the 12 levels in an hour last night. Thats saying something.

Classic or bust!

Same. Ive tried, too. I had to push the last 30 minutes of play last night.

I logged back on to the stress test yesterday and didnt log off until the server shut down. Never wanting to log out. It just feels right.

You are stronger than I, I can’t stomach logging on retail.

I probably wont log on again. I have enough to do to keep me busy until August 27th!

However, I hope I can balance my game play time and work time, being that I work from home. :joy::joy:

I feel this too. Haven’t logged onto live since logging into the test server and stayed on the test server yesterday until shutdown. Just can’t get up the motivation to go into BFA.

Look, I can’t wait for Classic either… but let’s not get carried away. Heirlooms are great for their intended purpose. When a game like WoW gets older it becomes prohibitively grindy to start new characters or start on a new server.

I will not be using any quest tracking addons for Classic, but some kind of UI option showing you where the quest is located is not “ruining the game”, it’s just common sense.

I got my main to 120, bored senseless the entire time, cancelled my sub forever and only renewing to play Classic. BfA is so bad that I didn’t even say goodbye to anyone in game, didn’t make a quit post on the realm forums, didn’t park my character in any nostalgic locations for eternity, I just hit the cancel button and smiled

You don’t understand the immersive nature of vanilla WoW. Each character, when it finally reaches level cap, should have experienced all the trials and tribulation of the long leveling process. There must be no shortcuts, or the immersive nature of the fantasy world is broken.

Giant yellow arrows blinking and pointing at a body on the ground is not what I consider common sense. :wink: To each their own. I do respect your opinion.

Did… did you read my post at all? I’m not talking about vanilla, I was pretty clearly talking about when the game gets older and the level cap keeps going up and up and up.

12

Um, you were defending things in live that clearly break immersion. Like the arrows I spoke of in my OP. Chill.

There should be no shortcuts. Reaching lvl 120 on retail should take a year played. Now that would be a game worth playing. End game, so to speak, would be a far off dream. The real game would be the days, weeks, months spent leveling and competing.

A year? Yikes hahaha

Why not? There is no hurry. You step in and play and someday, maybe, your character will reach the cap. But if not, you still have ages of exciting playtime with others more or less your level.

16

I’m not sure if you are being sarcastic or not, but in case you are not… that would be great for the first wave of people to do it but you would kill your game. No new player is going to go through that alone while everyone else is at the level cap, and the population would just bleed out over the weeks months and years until the game is dead.

17

Oh I get what youre saying. And if all dungeons/raids etc on the way were viable it would be a masterpiece.

18

I too went on live. did my maintenance things and logged off without whining.

19

Exactly. Take the original vanilla model and just extend it out. The long, very distant, road to level cap. With, dungeons and talents and professions and quests to work on all the way up.

There’s no well constructed endgame. A year questing beats a year afk in your major city right?
